So a year on from the opensource announcements made by numerous studios the move seems to be going well. A lot of major facilities are opening up the process and offering solutions the most well known is probably OpenExr by ILM but numerous other facilities have begun releasing software and specs back to the community.

Here is just a small list for you:

• Image engine 
• Double Negative 
• Sony Imageworks 
• ILM 
• Disney 

A lot of other contributors exist as well from all other post houses. It is great to see that the community is alive and well and that collaboration will make all our lives easier hopefully... this is what makes linux great and our industry very special.
